Recommendations

At the links in Section I below, you can play clips of each of the recommended songs through Amazon's website and purchase them to keep the song in use throughout the week. (Or you can go to our Amazon music store, and buy them from within the store we assembled of these picks.)

In Section II below, I also found You Tube versions with lyrics of many of these songs (but not all). You can use these lyric-plus-song videos for church convocations at home.

I also provide in Section III Yahweh-centric songs in English. Section IV are songs worth an "Honorable Mention" for personal spiritual enjoyment but probably do not belong in a worship-service.

Sadit Hadad "S'hma Israel" (Hear Oh Israel) - Hebrew stirring modern Psalm in worship to Almighty. Click the blue title, and this will bring you to our webpage with You Tube links and Hebrew transliteration for sing-along, and English translation.

Who could ever find the words to describe the IndescribableLimited vocabulary falls so short of depicting You, GodYet, I'm distracted; the things of this world threaten to pull me apartBut in Your mercy, You hear the cry of my heart

Only Jesus, only JesusLord, I'm tired of all the restWhen my heart knows You are the bestOnly Jesus, only Jesus

Son of God and Son of Man who came to destroy the work of sinAnd it's work in me was crushed when You became the Way for meHelp me surrender and stop pretending that I can live on my ownI'll find who I am, wrapped up in You alone

Only Jesus, only JesusLord, I'm tired of all the restWhen my heart knows You are the bestOnly JesusCome and change, Lord, rearrange every part of me until You are all that can be seenCome and be seen in me

Only Jesus, only JesusLord, I'm tired of all the restWhen my heart knows You are the bestOnly Jesus, only JesusLord, I'm tired of all the restWhen my heart knows You are the very bestOnly Jesus, only JesusOnly Jesus, only Jesus

Inspiring Songs I collected -- songs that do not mention God, but whose themes / words are uplifting spiritually. I love, for example, Stood Up by Fine Frenzy -- an encouraging song when right now the movement to defend Christ's status against Paulinism is small -- perhaps just "two of us," but how the battle will be won with love and grace to our present foes. While they fight with ships they send out to destroy us, we will win with weapons not made of steel and concrete. That is the great message of that song. "In kindness there is strength," it sweetly ends.
